EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tense atmosphere of the Control Room in a Civil Defence Centre during World War II. Circa 1941, the room is filled with a dedicated team of volunteers and emergency services personnel, all focused on ensuring the safety and wellbeing of their community during this time of crisis. The room is adorned with maps and charts, each marking the location of key infrastructure and potential threats, while the operators man their stations, ready to respond to any alert. The air raid sirens wail in the background, a constant reminder of the ever-present danger. The Control Room was a vital part of the home front during the war, and the tireless efforts of those within its walls helped to protect civilians from the devastating effects of air raids and other emergencies. This image, taken by renowned photographer John Hinde, offers a glimpse into the wartime spirit of resilience and unity that defined the 1940s. The Control Room stands as a testament to the bravery and determination of those who served on the home front during World War II.
